The 2011 DSA exercise is drawing to a close, pending some outstanding CO to be received, and for those who did not get any offers, it is time to pick up the pieces and steel yourself and work toward peak performance at PSLE.


For those parents whose kids are not yet Pri 6 in 2011, there are a few things to note if you are considering DSA for your child in the coming years.

1. For DSA 2012, the Pri 5 result for 2011 Pri 5 is critical as well as 2012 Pri 6 SA1, esp for the GEPpers. For non-GEPpers, RI requires Pri 4 results as well. So must cheong now for SA2!

2. DSA is a long process, start gearing up for it from Pri 4, build up consistent performance along the way, and build confidence. DSA does not just suddenly start in April or May with online form-filling.

3. Start attending open houses of those target schools in Pri 5, get to know their requirements.

4. Get involved with the enrichment programs run by those target secondary schools, join the competitions they organise, be on their mailing list

5. Some of these programs & competitions are : RI inner circle, Einstein Club, HCI Bilingual Talent Camp, NYGH Bilingual Camp, SMOPS, NMOS, RI World Math, Po Leung Kok World Math Competition, Raffles Science Olympiad, Raffles Junior Scholarship (for pri school kids)

6. Some of the above programs are administered via the kid's primary school, limited vacancies.....hence my earlier point that consistence performance from Pri 4 is important because when vacancies are limited, the pri school has to select only the top few to go (eg HCI Bilingual Talent Camp - each selected primary school can send only 7 kids).....so, at the final analysis, strive to be among the top to improve your chances


The above is no guarantee of DSA success, esp for RI, but it helps to bring a CO nearer.

Hi verykiasu2010,
What about the A level scholarships? Do they need the academic results from Yr 1 to Yr 6 or just your A level results or Yr 5 and 6 results and A level? Sorry to be :offtopic:
